In a new announcement, Activision revealed that Nuketown will be coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 1. Few would have anticipated that Nuketown would be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 after the reveal of Sandhouse, but it seems like Activision is set on building hype for the game by introducing one of the most popular maps in the history of the franchise.
After the mixed reception Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 received at launch, fans had low expectations for the new Black Ops title. However, with the initial reveals and the beta phase, Activision has proven that Black Ops 6 is, in fact, one of the most ambitious Call of Duty titles to date. With the release just a few days away, the developers have been building up the hype by revealing details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's single-player campaign, and outlining changes that are being made to the multiplayer aspects. Amid that, it seems like the developers have dropped one of the biggest announcements for Black Ops 6.
In a new tweet, Activision reveals one of the most exciting maps coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The fan-favorite map Nuketown will be available in Black Ops 6 on November 1. The video showcases the iconic yellow car from the original map, along with the billboard that will surely take Call of Duty fans on a trip down memory lane. The developers had previously revealed sixteen maps that will be available in Black Ops 6 at launch, but it seems like they saved the best for the last.

While it was heavily speculated that Nuketown would make a return, fans were a bit disappointed when it was revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would feature a new take on Nuketown, called Sandhouse. While players didn't get a chance to experience Sandhouse during the beta, a picture of the map showed Nuketown buried in sand, with a large crater behind it. While new maps are always welcomed by the community, fans were hoping that they would get a chance to play the classic Nuketown once again, and it seems like their wishes have come true.
One thing that has confused many fans is the map's release date. Nuketown releases in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on November 1, a week after the game's launch. Considering that it is too soon for the first season's release, players are wondering what led the developer to choose such an odd release window for the map. Whatever the case may be, it seems like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is shaping out to be one of the most hyped releases for the franchise in recent times.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
